Deponia, Daedalic Entertainment’s latest classic PC adventure gaming masterpiece, has just been released on June 29th, and the press has so many positive things to say about this hand-painted point & click beauty. Gamespot calls it “one of the best traditional point-and-click games out there”, rating it 8/10. GamingLives awarded Deponia their “Editor’s Choice” trophy, rating it 9/10, saying “Deponia (…) can stand confidently at the top of the comic adventure heap”, and “Thirteen1” calls it “gorgeus” and “charming, if not bumbling (…) (a la Monkey Island)”.

So this is one PC point & click adventure game you should not miss – if you’re not convinced by now, check out anti-hero Rufus (“I’m like Herpes. A cool version of Herpes.”) and all the other great characters by watching the Trailer or even playing the free demo.

The approximately 700 MB sized demo features scenes of the first chapter of the game and offers between 30 and 45 minutes of gameplay time.

By the way, is anyone else getting a message preventing the demo from downloading? My computer is warning me about potential malicious software. I assume it's just being overprotective, but I wonder if I'm the only one getting this message?

Hi, Cathy. Sorry I missed your post before. Thanks for the info, and I suppose I'll just try again. It's probably just my computer being overprotective.

Kjos, it looks like it is there. Expensive, though. I'll have to wait until August mid-month to pick it up. Oh, well, something to look forward to.

EDIT: Ah, I realize what the problem was before. There was a download above the demo for a free toolbar, and I'd clicked on it instead. That was sneaky of them. Well, I'm downloading the correct file now.
